I have finally managed to wean myself off the Roman factions into the fine and actually quite good looking Egyptions. The scale is hard/ hard.
I really need your help and PLEASE refrain from saying the Egyptions are like "The Terminator" incarnate because at the begining thay are anything but - I even got beat by some Rebels !! Well with slingers and VERY slow hopilites as the " front line" what do you expect??
The problem is very similar to the Julii- instead - in place of the Gaul's are the rather cruel and much more ugly Secluid Empire !!
The main questions I have are :
1) What direction is best for the Egyptions expansion ( I tried up the middle east but that runs smack bang into you know who)?
2)Just how low can you run city defences at the begining of the Egyption turn ( I am considering picketing everything with 2 town watch type units and letting everythign else just hold out until the " cavelry" come and save the day.
3) Just what sort of navy do the Egyptions have since it must be designed by some radically inefficiant dude who forget to put the D in defence.
I can assure you on hard/ hard I'd HATE to run into the Gaul's anytimne soon.....
Thanks for your help !!!
